Patent searchers are usually agents and lawyers who work for law firms and have special legal knowledge of patent law, which might include searching for prior patents and trademarks for art, finding relevant material, and helping your fill out your application. You can find many patent examiners and searchers on the Internet and in your directory. With so many to choose from, you might find that it is hard to determine which ones suit your needs best. By knowing what questions to ask, though, you should be able to find one that is best for you. Ask the office how long they have been in business. An attorney who has several years of patent searching experience should able to find relevant information and know the legal process better that an agent with fewer years of experience. Ask the agency if they get clearance not only through the US patent office, but also foreign offices as well before you obtain your application. Ask the lawyers if they will help you fill out your application so that you do violate any of the rules in this process. While it is important for you to get the legal services that you need, you should also consider price. Ask the law firm if they can provide you with a written price quote for the services that you need. After you have talked to several agencies, you should be able to determine which ones have reasonable prices and which ones over charge for their patent searching services.

Patent searchers are individuals who research and filter information from a variety of sources about patents: about their existence, about the ability of a client to register new patents, and even to determine if a patent infringement has occurred. Searchers are asked for many types of searches; patent novelty, patent validity, and patent infringement searches are just a few. Patent searchers are usually employed by attorneys, and in general will need to learn some patent law in addition to learning search techniques. Many patent searchers have some kind of science or engineering background which helps them understand the details of various patents as they research.
